Copying licensed material requires attribution

[edit]

Hi. I see in a recent addition to Androsace delphinensis you included material from a webpage that is available under a compatible Creative Commons Licence. That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. It's also required under the terms of the license. I've added the attribution for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this licensing requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material in the future. — Diannaa (talk) 12:16, 28 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I gave the attribution in the summary. I didn't know it's possible to append other contents inside a ref tag, following the {{cite}} template. Thanks so much for your advice. ——🦝 The Interaccoonale Will be the raccoon race (talkcontribs) 12:59, 28 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

[edit]

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Recent edits

[edit]

You recently made several edits to species articles, such as helmeted manakin. However, you didn't copyedit the articles to make them internally consistent, nor did you edit the appropriate genus-level articles or higher level articles, to have external consistency. Please complete this work. - UtherSRG (talk) 19:55, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I will finish the previously modified articles.

IOC Bid list v 14.1

[edit]

Hi, and Merry Christmas!!

I notice that you are working through the updates, which I thank you for. Please could you consider doing the same to Charadrius? As you can see from the Talk page, I planned to do it but you're welcome to do it for me ! I am currently working on fish. Big Blue Cray(fish) Twins (talk) 12:44, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that the page you created, Template:IOC birdlist, was tagged as a test page under section G2 of the criteria for speedy deletion and has been or soon may be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other test edits you may want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:58, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you have recreated this template because it was a placeholder for subpages that had no actual template code in them. I have updated it so that it works in a more sensible way, using a #switch statement instead of subpages. Once the pages using the subpage have been updated, the subpage will no longer be needed. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:18, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
OK, thanks. I'll update the pages. ——🦝 The Interaccoonale Will be the raccoon race (talkcontribs) 14:28, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Copyedit notes on Phenotypic disparity:

[edit]
  • I'm wondering if the lead sentence should be dumbed-down a bit, or at least made a bit more obvious that the topic is biology. Perhaps: "refers to the variation of observable characteristics within biological groups."?
  • have very little species → have very few species -or- have a very small number of species
  • On the other hand, later-disparity groups may have develop new morphological forms → developed
  • Taxonomic metrics was an early approach of measuring disparity among groups in the 1980s. → In the 1980s, taxonomic metrics was an early approach of measuring disparity among groups.
  • The last paragraph reads a bit like a how-to guide which is not ideal encyclopedic tone, but it's common enough in explaining concepts or procedures and is good enough for now.

I mentioned close paraphrasing of the hook fact. I'm going to quote the source then the passage in the article, underlining the similarities.

In terms of species number, birds are more diverse than mammals (some 10,000 vs. ca. 5600 extant species worldwide), but are instead quite more uniform in terms of morphology, reproductive biology and developmental schedules. Even including less conventional kinds such as the flightless penguins and ratites (ostrich and relatives), the range of bird structural types is much narrower than the range of structural types of mammals, which include humans and whales, bats and giraffes, moles and armadillos.

and from the present version of the article:

For example, birds, with more than 10,000 species, have greater species richness than mammals, which have approximately 5,600 species. However, birds are relatively more uniform in morphology, reproductive biology, and developmental biology. Even including some rare groups, such as penguins and ratites (ostriches and their relatives), the range of body plans in birds is much narrower than in mammals, which include apes, whales, bats, giraffes, moles, the platypus, marsupials and armadillos.

So it seems like maybe half of that is straight from the source and structurally it's very similar to the source. I know it can be difficult, especially when you've been working at the text for a while. Let me take a crack at it.

For example, there are nearly twice as many species of birds as there are of mammals, indicating greater species richness, but birds are more consistent in morphology, reproductive biology, and developmental biology. The range of their body plans is relatively narrow, with outliers like penguins and ratites (ostriches, etc.), while mammals include such diverse forms as apes, armadillos, bats, giraffes, marsupials, moles, the platypus and whales.

Maybe that's a bit better? – Reidgreg (talk) 00:45, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Phenotypic disparity

[edit]

On 11 June 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Phenotypic disparity, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that birds have more species than mammals, but are relatively more uniform in appearance? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Phenotypic disparity. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Phenotypic disparity), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Accipiter becomes a paraphyletic in IOC ver 14.2 and Accipiter efficax and Accipiter quartus

[edit]

According to the to-be published IOC version 14.2 Accipiter becomes a paraphyletic taxon. Yet there are two Holocene fossil species of Accipiter precisely A.efficax and A.quartus (both valid) from New Caledonia, but the Accipiter species of New Caledonia has been moved to the revised genus Tachyspiza. As previously we had genus transfer on the pages of the fossil species of Pampusana (even though scientific studies did not formally transfer) and movement of the subfossil species Mareca marecula (Amsterdam wigeon, moved to Mareca by IOC but not in any scientific studies) by IOC, so I think it is also reasonable to update the two pages’ genus name as Tachyspiza efficax and Tachyspiza quartus Huinculsaurus (talk) 01:18, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry? I can't find IOC ver 14.2. Is it officially published? ——🦝 The Interaccoonale Will be the raccoon race (talkcontribs) 01:25, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
